Figure 2.9 shows another interesting and intuitive feature of infrastructure planning: commissioning of FID initiatives is concentrated in the first half of the considered period, while for non-FID projects the operational phases are indicated for the final part of the decade under consideration. Non-FID projects are increasingly piling up from 2015 onwards, becoming the predominant item from the middle of the analyzed time horizon, while the FID number stabilizes between 2017 and 2019, as a possi- ble indication of the average construction time for infrastructure. Figure 2.10 represents an alternative graphical representation of the above-men- tioned considerations, showing the relative weight of the various infrastructure classes and the related FID status. The pie graph makes evident that FID assets represent around a third of the overall projects, and that pipelines are the first category both for FID and non-FID infrastructure.
